If a quiet and unacknowledged new menu change is any indication, it looks as if Cracker Barrel hasn’t learned a thing from the backlash it received when it went woke last summer.
The once-beloved restaurant chain found itself in the center of the conflict between patriots and leftists back in the summer of 2025, when it threw “Uncle Herschel” and his barrel off its logo, exchanging what had been a much-loved bit of Americana for a sterile, cosmopolitan rootlessness. The bigger change, however, wasn’t as visible: Cracker Barrel embraced DEI policies, pandering to every leftist delusion and fantasy with an enthusiasm that was at odds with the chain’s folksy, traditional image. After a massive outcry, Cracker Barrel backed down and brought Uncle Herschel back from the retirement home, but it is now clear: the people who hate the brand and its customers are still in charge.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Somehow, never liked that restaurant. Has a very limited menu, none of whose items are really good

A lot of their stuff is good, it’s just not for everyone evidently

The northern woke management hates everything about Cracker Barrel since the theme of the restaurant was American values. The step back from drastically changing the restaurant image was only a half step backwards. The woke management should all be fired before they destroy Cracker Barrel.

Leadership of corporations can destroy them with foolish ideas and mistakes. The same thing goes for countries.
